 Based on the current amount of things I need to unlock (in sig), which pack would you reccommend me buying from the store?  

Additional info:
1. I have all characters at least unlocked except for Krolord.
2. There are only 6 URs I don't have unlocked at all.
3. Only 2 weapon mods have completely eluded me.
4. And only Thermal Clip Storage is completely non-existent gear-wise.


5. I have been making offerings to the RNG gods for the past couple of weeks, to appease their Trolliness.  I recently unlocked the Destroyer, Infidrell, Harrier, Particle Rifle, Reegar, and Hurricane so I'm hopeful. 

Now I want the Lancer, Venom, or Typhoon 

Tl;dr:  What packs to buy to get best drop rate for UR?

[Tokenusername]

PSP has an estimated 10% droprate iirc.

[Melee or Die]

Premium Spectre packs worked for me. But, it's not called "Random" for nothing.

[Ledgend1221]

Just buy PSPs.
All that reserve packs having better UR chance is utter nonsense.

[Mask of Apathy]

what about SP? Would that just be gimping the amount of stuff I could unlock each pack?

60k for one Rare and 5% chance to get a UR.
99K for two Rares and 5% + 5% chance to get a UR.

What looks better?

Well, then. That certainly takes any hesitation out of the decision. Why are there still SPs then?  Seems like they would never be the better option.

Thank you all for the input  10 PSPs, here I come!

[Mask of Apathy]

 2 PSPs in... unlocked Krolord, maxed GPR, unlocked Venom  so far so good!

SPs exist because PSPs weren't made permanent for a long time. They still sxist because they're the only pack that drops multiple level III consumables, and they enable Gold players to buy a pack after every game and still have credits left over.

It would look pretty ridiculous to jump straight from a 20k pack to a 99k pack.

well, JEP is 33k so it would seem a tad more reasonable lol. But I see your point

Jeeps don't drop level 3 stuff as often though, nor can you get characters/guns out of them. Don't get me wrong, Jeeps are still really good.

Edited because lolsyntax.

Back in my day, we just had Equipment packs.

[Mask of Apathy]

ah, gotcha. That's true, i have noticed far too many common drops from them. Well, I'll have to start buying an SP every now and then to keep my lvl 3 consumables more plentiful. Thanks for the insight

[the_last_krogan]

been getting alot of UR's in SP's lately

[Tantum Dic Verbo]

Do PSP's have better UR rates than the Arsenal and Reserve Packs? And does the Arsenal Pack's tilt toward weapons disappear once all the rares are maxed?

[Mask of Apathy]

well, from what I've seen from Arsenal and Reserves packs, you mainly get gear and mods :/

No one seems to know for certian, though the general consensus is that all three have the same chance for dropping a UR. For the second part yes, once all rares are maxed you'll just get level 4 consumables out of APs with the odd UR.

Back in my day we only had recruit, veteran, and spectre packs.

No one would ever get rockets or medi-gel either. Not that they do today, but at least we know how cheap people are.

No one knows for sure. Most likely all the same. However you never get a common character card in an arsenal pack.

 Here is an interesting blog post from Girl Plays Game: Mass Effect 3: Regular vs. Premium Spectre Pack – Which is Better for Ultra Rares?

She concludes that SP is a better choice, more bang for the buck (or credit).

[RoZh2400]

Reserves packs drop a glitched amount of increased URs. The probability is somewhere around 20%, so 1 out of every 5 RPs should give you a UR on AVERAGE. I've literally gotten a double UR pack THEN a single UR from 2 back-to-back RPs before.

[PianoBlack]

I buy reserves only because I enjoy the shape of the box.

If this is true then I will only buy RP from now on

[Sinapus]

It's random. I can get nothing but consumables on one set of purchases and then get 2-3 UR cards on another.

[BadDad67]

I have probably had the best luck with the RP, but.....rng sucks & has plenty cryo ammo. That's why the polar ice caps are melting, too much ammo mining
